I recently moved the Bitcoin blockchain off my little boot SSD because it was taking too much space. After, I finally upgraded to .9. I told it to use the Bitcoin data folder on the non-boot drive, and it seems okay with this, except Armory's "databases" folder is >16GB large. Is there a way to move this to the non-SSD? (preferably with Armory recognizing it instead of rebuilding that folder... )

Just got back from the conference. Alan will still be busy with that for another day or 2 (I left Vegas right away, the rest of the team is mostly leaving on friday or saturday).

Ima try and catch up on the questions as well as I can:

neostatus: at this point turn off bitcoind management in the settings, start BitcoinQt, let it sync, then start Armory.

cypherdoc: it shouldnt significantly differ in speed

Is 0.9 stable: yes, it is a fully fledged stable release signed with our offline Armory GPG key.

LvM: havent fixed that part of the updating process in a while. Alan is on it.

WinXP: full support in 0.91. Build process is ready and functional, so essentially it works in house, just a matter of getting to the next release.

As for using older Armory versions on your offline machine, there is no issue on that front, you're just missing out on the next backup feature, and eventually offline multisig signing.

matt608: make sure you're running ubuntu 10.04 or 12.04, then grab our offline package off our site and follow the instructions. They're quite simple and you shouldnt have too much trouble setting it up. If you have issues, let us know at support@bitcoinarmory.com

superbit: we're aware of that, should be fixed by 0.91

About BitcoinQt 0.86: there shouldnt be any compatibility issue on that front, but we need to update to the newest fee calculation on our end as well.

Tamis: the team is slowly getting back from Vegas, expect us to be fully responsive starting next week.

Kluge: --datadir sets your entire data folder to another location (settings files, wallets n all). You can use --dbdir to specify a folder for the db only

Quick question: I just upgraded my Armory to the newest version on my online system and one of the new things is that it build a DB (which it's doing right now). I searched the website but could not find how I can specify the database to be stored somewhere else than the default location (C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Armory).

I want to see pending transaction even when there are zero confirmations. I get nervous waiting to see $1000's of dollars of fiat in limbo for ~10+ minutes. The QT client shows pending transactions within seconds.

I installed .9, seems to work fun but my windows task bar and desktop icons lost the armory logo and are just the generic windows *.exe logo.

In your Armory folder, right click on armoryqt.exe and choose 'Send to' --> 'Desktop'. Right click on that shortcut (on the desktop) and choose properties. Choose the shortcut tab. Choose 'Change icon'. Navigate to your Armory folder and choose which icon you want. Icon files end in .ico. There are several in the Armory folder.

Armory shows zero-confirmation transactions. Have you seen this persistently, or once? Because occasionally the transactions do not propagate to every node, though I haven't seen that happen in a long time. But I would not be surprised if that happened once. If it happens more than once, please send a log file to our support email (at bitcoinarmory.com).

I just installed Armory for the first time and was running some tests. I noticed this was the case when I sent my first bitcoin transaction to Armory. I'm not sure if it was a one time deal or a consistent issue with my install. I appreciate your response, I'll run further tests and let you know.

Installed latest version of Armory, it sync'd with the blockchain fine. I created a new wallet, passphrase, backup etc... Now, I cannot get Armory in "Online" mode, as it remains offline whilst connected to the net. I've gone through the settings, and nothing seems to work. I've sent a test transaction to the new wallet, and it confirms sent VIA blockchain.info.

Any ideas on why I cannot get Armory in "Online Mode"? OS = Win 8.1 Blockchain is fully sync'd

Ok I did something stupid. Not sure if I closed my password vault without saving or what but I already lost my wallet password.Anyway the first thing I did upon creation was to print a paper wallet so I'm not too worried yet.

Problem is when I attempt to restore my wallet I get the following message:You already own this wallet! Nothing to do...

To me the obvious next step would be to delete it and then attempt to restore it. But you can understand why I'm apprehensive to go this route.

Reinstall on another OS and restore the wallet there first to calm your nerves (and of course, safety first )

In QT, the client will tell how far out of sync the client is (like "4 days behind"). Could that be added to Armory? I occasionally make mistakes because I look at Armory's "connected" hover text, it reads "last block received 32 seconds ago," and I interpret that as meaning "the last block broadcast to the network was 32 seconds ago," thinking the client's sync'd when it isn't.

Not sure what you mean. If Qt is out of sync, the bottom-right corner hover text will say "4 days ago". Is this not the case?

That is the case with QT. That doesn't appear to be the case on Armory while it's handling bitcoind. I'll cut off its bandwidth overnight, then unthrottle it in the morning to confirm.

I would like to create a new public address and send some coins to someone and have them appear to come from this newly created address. When I go to coin control this new address of course doesn't show up as the coins are in a different address in my wallet. Is there anyway to do this?
